What young man at 16 does not dream of fame? The young centurion Mark from the Gallic city of Lugdunum has every reason to believe in a happy destiny. He is young, handsome and noble. Only life in the Roman Empire is full of surprises. Father Mark is accused of treason and taken to Rome with his son. To clear themselves of suspicion, father and son will have to investigate the case of counterfeit denarii that appeared in Judea. The path to a distant province is not safe. However, battles are not the most dangerous thing Mark has to face. In Ancient Rome, both love and even faith in God bring death. Especially when aliens from the future are involved in the conspiracy.
